Maths for this week - starting 23rd November

This week the big focus in maths is doubling. We will be looking at how we can use partitioning to help us double mentally.
e.g. double 34
= double 30 + double 4
= 60 + 8
= 68

We will start by using smaller numbers and then progress to working with larger, more complex numbers so that the children are confident with this strategy.
We shall then begin making the connection with halving, again using partitioning to help us halve mentally.

Homework - due Friday 27th November
This week the children will design their own doubles bingo card. They need to draw a 5 x 5 grid and then choose the numbers for their grid. They will then need to decorate their grid and we will then laminate these and use them in class for games of doubles bingo. It will be great!
